    Why is HBO not airing Crawford vs Burns?

    They televise his two previous fights but not his first title fight?

      Lots of logistics most of us aren't aware of when it comes to airing overseas fights.

          Logistics are usually taken care of by putting money out. They probably just don't want to invest into the fight.

            Daft move... admittedly it wouldn't be on at the perfect time for you guys but it'd be better than nothing and you could always re show it later at night.

              Well they're not going to send their broadcasting crew because they already have a March 1 show in Texas.
              I guess they don't feel like paying to broadcast it because they're invested in the Chavez rematch

                  I guess they decided it's not worth the money to send a crew over when they're already airing the Salido/Lomachenko and Chavez/Vera II.

                  Burns/Crawford would have been a nice fight to show on delay before those two fights.

                    Because they have the biggest non ppv draw fighting in Texas with a good undercard fight

                    Covering an international fight of a guy who isn't popular or exciting has no purpose
